## Reference implementation for Vendor Service Controller's service This project has the reference implementation for a service which can be used for vendor service controller. Vendor service controller reads different service components from RRO configuration (config_earlyStartupServices) and these services are started/bound by Vendor service controller. Vendor service controller is part of CarService. The config needs to be defined in the following format: ``` com.bar.foo/.Service#bind={bind|start|startForeground}, user={all|system|foreground|visible|backgroundVisible}, trigger={asap|resume|userUnlocked|userPostUnlocked} bind: bind - start service with Context#bindService start - start service with Context#startService startForeground - start service with Context#startForegroundService If service was bound it will be restarted unless it is constantly crashing. The default value is 'start' user: all - the service will be bound/started for system and all visible users system - the service will be started/bound only for system user (u0) foreground - the service will be bound/started only for foreground users visible - the service will be bound/started only for visible users (as defined by `UserManager#isUserVisible()`). backgroundVisible - the service will be bound/started only for background users that are visible. The default value is 'all' trigger: indicates when the service needs to be started/bound asap - the service might be bound when user is not fully loaded, be careful with this value, the service also needs to have directBootAware flag set to true resume - start service when the device resumes from suspend (suspend-to-RAM, or suspend-to-disk). userUnlocked - start service when user unlocked the device userPostUnlocked - start service later after user unlocked. This is used when the service is not urgent and can wait to start. The default value is 'userUnlocked' maxRetries: the maximum number of attempts to rebind/restart a disconnected service. Retries start with 4 second initial delay, being doubled after each failed attempt. The default value is 6. If the service bound/started for foreground user it will be unbound/stopped when user is no longer foreground. ``` Service bound to CarService are special. As CarService is a persistent process, these services bound with CarService would be running as PROCESS_STATE_IMPORTANT_FOREGROUND, It means they would have higher priority and would not be killed due to resource constraints. They can be killed based on different user scope. For example, services running for visible user only will be killed when user is no longer visible. By default, these services don't have access to things like location, camera, microphone or network. ## Remaining work b/308208710 b/308208631 b/306704239
